I was wondering if anyone here would mind helping me troubleshoot a problem.
I have been trying to stream Skyrim SE to my laptop and play it on my tv. My biggest issue is I like playing the game with a controller and when the controller is plugged into my laptop the game does not recognize it.
I noticed if I plug the controller into the host PC it works fine though, but I don't have a long enough cable for that to work well.
If anyone has any tips or a fix it would be greatly appreciated, preferably a fix without spending any money for extra stuff.
Host PC Specs:
Win 10
Evga 1070
Ryzen 1500x
Laptop:
Early 2011 MacBook Pro
Radeon 6750M
Using an Afterglow 360 controller.

I know this type of question gets asked on the forum a lot so I will try and make this simple.
My laptop died recently, and while I might be able to recover it at some point I could use something more dependable.
The problem being I have a tight budget.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Budget: $500
Use: Daily web browsing, lite video editing on the go. Lite gaming.
Preferences: preferably at least an i5. I can upgrade ram if it is ddr3 (I am fine with both Mac and Windows machines).
I have no troubles buying used, as that has been my past two laptops anyway. I am mostly looking for recommendations on older models that I could look up. I have been mostly looking at a mixture of old ThinkPads and 2012 MacBook Pro's.
My biggest concern is thermals and portability (seeing as how my recent laptop was poor in both regards). Depending on the price upgradability would be a nice bonus (storage and ram upgrades).

This product is currently going through a reclass process, along with a bunch of others. The i5's got hit particularly hard with this as well. Anything that is currently visible is likely acting as a place holder.

Full specs?
Otherwise just looks like your unable to overclock. It is still showing what looks like your GPU at the bottom like it should.
Also, I don't recommend posting something twice, even if you do change the title.

Something like this should work for you. 144Hz Refresh rate, 4ms Response, IPS, 1440p, 27"

Otherwise consider having two monitors. One for photos, one for gaming.

Have you stress tested the overclock? It seems the general recommendation for using the stock cooler to overclock is to set the voltage to 1.35v and clock speed of about 3.9Ghz (if able). But if you can stress test it for an extended period of time and no crashed and your temps stay under control then it should be OK but not necessarily ideal.

An extra 9 seconds seems hardly a reason to worry. That is still a nice and fast boot. But the longer time is likely caused just from "age" like installed windows updates, or updates to other applications you have set to run on boot.
